FOOTBALL LOVERS!! Do You Think Cristiano Ronaldo Can Perform Better In Manchester United Without The No.7 Jersey?

It is official now!

The signing of Cristiano Ronaldo on a two-year contract with the option to extend for a further year, subject to international clearance.

Cristiano, a five-time Ballon D’or winner, has so far won over 30 major trophies during his career, including five UEFA Champions League titles, four FIFA Club World Cups, seven league titles in England, Spain and Italy, and the UEFA European Championship for his native Portugal.

Cristiano is the first player to win leagues in three different countries, he was also the highest goalscorer in last season’s Serie A and won the golden boot at this year’s European Championship.

In his first spell for Manchester United, he scored 118 goals in 292 games.

Cristiano Ronaldo said:

“Manchester United is a club that has always had a special place in my heart, and I have been overwhelmed by all the messages I have received since the announcement on Friday. I cannot wait to play at Old Trafford in front of a full stadium and see all the fans again. I’m looking forward to joining up with the team after the international games, and I hope we have a very successful season ahead.”

About The No.7 Jersey & PL Rules

At the moment, Edinson Cavani wears the No.7 shirt in the United squad.

Premier League Rules:

Section M: Players’ Identification & Strip

Before the commencement of each Season each Club shall allocate a different shirt number to each member of its first team squad.

A Club shall likewise allocate a shirt number to any Player joining its first team squad during the Season.

Save with the prior written consent of the Board shirt numbers shall commence with the number one and shall be allocated consecutively.

While he remains with the Club a Player will retain his shirt number throughout the Season for which it was allocated.

Upon a Player leaving a Club the shirt number allocated to him may be re-allocated.

So for C. Ronaldo to take the number 7, either Cavani will have to leave Manchester United or they will have to get a special dispensation from the Premier League board. We all know that PL board will never agree, they’d turn it down. In other words, Ronaldo have to choose a different number.

So the question now is,
